The retail, transportation, accommodation, and catering industries are particularly busy; after the Chinese New Year, workers will return to work, and there may be operations with unfamiliar skills and re-adaptation to the working environment, how to grasp the situation of occupational disasters and avoid occupational disasters caused by busyness around the Chinese New Year is an issue worthy of attention.

Major occupational accidents happened before the Spring Festival and after the start of work. According to the statistics of the Labor Safety Institute, the top eight types of disasters are "falling, rolling, get caught in machines, objects collapsing, flying objects, electric shocks", etc. Obviously, during the Spring Festival, before and after the festive season, workplace safety precautions should not be overlooked.
